Kids Podcasts

Let's figure this out together.

Podcasts, playlists, Yotos, RSS feeds — it sounds like a lot. It really isn't. Tell me what you're trying to do and I'll walk you through it, one small step at a time.

Here's the whole thing in four steps.

don't panic

Okay, what's an RSS feed?

It's the one scary-sounding word here, so let's get it out of the way. An RSS feed is just a link that updates itself. You paste it once into the Yoto app (or any podcast app) and your playlist shows up like its own little radio station — quietly adding new episodes for you.

That's the whole trick. No account to make, nothing to install.

Getting it onto your kid's player.

Yoto

  1. 1Connect your Yoto account once, in the grown-up area
  2. 2Open any show or playlist and tap Send to Yoto
  3. 3It lands in the Yoto app under My Library → Make Your Own
  4. 4Link it to a blank card — new episodes keep arriving on their own
No account? RSS feeds and downloads still work — Yoto Resources & How-Tos covers both.

Questions other parents ask.

This is a podcast discovery tool for parents. You can browse curated playlists, discover new shows, or search for incredibly specific topics—whether your child is obsessed with otters, soccer, construction vehicles, or outer space. You can also filter by age and episode length to find something that fits the moment. I think kids' podcasts are one of the most overlooked tools in the parenting toolkit. They can make car rides easier, quiet time more peaceful, and random 'why?' questions a lot more fun to explore together.

Yes — the free Kids Podcasts app for iPhone is the part your kid actually holds. You approve the shows and playlists; they get a library locked to exactly that—no chat, no algorithm, no surprises. Plus daily limits, quiet hours, and Yoto support. Built by one parent, not big tech.

Most podcasts on the site are suitable for ages 2–12. Because most podcasts don't tell parents who they're actually designed for, I've manually tagged every show by age to make discovery easier. You'll find recommendations for toddlers, preschoolers, early elementary kids, and older children.

Yes! Connect your Yoto account once and tap Send to Yoto on any show or playlist — it lands in your Yoto library as a card that updates itself. Prefer not to connect an account? The RSS and download methods still work, and I've included simple instructions throughout the site.

Yes! Everything has been added organically and podcast recommendations are my favorite. Feel free to email me or <a href="/requestpodcast" style="color:#4d0873;font-weight:700;">fill in this form</a>.

Spotify and Apple Podcasts are great if you already know what you're looking for. But if you're searching for something like 'otters' or 'kindness' or 'volcanoes,' you'll often get adult podcasts mixed in with kids' content. Here, every result comes from a curated collection of kids' podcasts, so you can spend less time searching and more time listening.

One parent (hi, I'm Kelly 👋). I originally built this to find podcast episodes about my son's latest obsessions without digging through hundreds of search results. Other parents found it useful too, so it kept growing.

Yes. Nothing is hosted or re-uploaded here. This just organizes the same public podcast feeds your podcast app already uses, and the audio plays straight from the creator. Share playlist links rather than downloaded files and everyone stays happy.

The audio is the creator's own feed, so if a show has ads, they'll play. I lean hard toward podcasts made for kids, where that's rare — but ads can change over time, so if you ever hear something off, tell me and I'll look.

Yep. Download a single episode or a whole playlist as a zip. Lifesaver for flights, tunnels, and the long stretch of highway with no signal.

I listen first, then tag every show by age and topic myself. No algorithm, no pay-to-play — just one parent trying to save you the vetting.

Tell me! I'm always adding shows. There's a quick request form below — drop the name and a link and I'll go listen.

Don't see your kid's favorite show?

Send me the name and a link — I'll go listen and add it.

A few ways parents actually use this.

The long drive

A playlist about where you're headed, downloaded before you lose signal.

The wind-down

Calm stories to trade for the bedtime tablet.

Sneaky homework help

Studying ancient Egypt? There's an episode for the pyramids.

The screen-free hour

Audio for while they draw, build, or just flop on the rug.

Still stuck? That's normal.

This stuff is genuinely fiddly the first time — you're not missing something obvious. Send me a message and I'll help you sort it out, usually the same day.
